How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata
Raman, FRS was an
Indian physicist whose
ground breaking work in
the field of light scattering
earned him the 1930 Nobel
Prize for Physics.
3. Venkata Raman Was Born
In Thiruvanaikaval, Trichinopoly,
Present-day Tiruchirapalli, Madras
Presidency, In British India To
Parvati Ammal (Saptarshi Parvati)
And R. Chandrasekhara Ayer.
He Was The Second Of Their
Eight Children.
4. “EARLY LIFE & CAREER”
2nd in eight children (5 sons and 3 daughters)
Father was a teacher in a school, later moved to
Visakhapatnam to be a lecturer in Mathematics and Physics in
the Mrs. AVN College when Raman was 3, with a salary of Rs
85/- per month
Matriculated at 11, FA at 13, BA at 15 from the Presidency
College in Chennai (Gold medal in English and Physics) and
MA at 18 (exempted from attending all classes of science)
5. First research paper at the age of 16 in The Philosophical
Magazine (London) on diffraction of light from prism, and
another on measurement of surface tension (communicated by
author himself, with no acknowledgements!)
Topped Civil Services exam (Finance Dept)- “I shall ever be
grateful to the Civil Surgeon of Madras”
In 1907, at 18 ½ married Lokasundari and then joined as Asst
Accountant General in the Finance Dept, Kolkata
Very much occupied due to the job, he still managed to spare
his evenings for scientific research at the laboratory of the
Indian Association for Cultivation of Sciences. On certain
occasions, he even spent the entire nights. Such was his
passion that in 1917, he resigned from the position to become
the Professor of Physics at Calcutta University.
6. CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
On a sea voyage to Europe in 1921, Raman curiously noticed the
blue colour of the glaciers and the Mediterranean. He was
passionate to discover the reason of the blue colour.
Once Raman returned to India, he performed many experiments
regarding the scattering of light from water and transparent
blocks of ice. According to the results, he established the
scientific explanation for the blue colour of sea-water and sky.
There is a captivating event that served as the inspiration for the
discovery of the Raman Effect.
Raman employed monochromatic light from a mercury arc which
penetrated transparent materials and was allowed to fall on a
spectrograph to record its spectrum.
During this, Raman detected some new lines in the spectrum
which were later called ‘Raman Lines’.
7. After a few months, Raman put forward his discovery of
‘Raman Effect’ in a meeting of scientists at Bangalore on
March 16, 1928, for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics
in 1930.
The ‘Raman Effect’ is considered very significant in analyzing the
molecular structure of chemical compounds. After a decade of its
discovery, the structure of about 2000 compounds was studied.
Thanks to the invention of the laser, the ‘Raman Effect’ has
proved to be a very useful tool for scientists.
Some of Raman’s other interests were the physiology of human
vision, the optics of colloids and the electrical and magnetic
anisotropy.
Sir C.V. Raman became the Fellow of the Royal Society of
London in 1924.

11. A year later, he set up Raman Research Institute near Bangalore,
where he continued the scientific research until his death which
was caused by a strong heart attack on November 21, 1970.
His Sincere Advice To Aspiring Scientists Was That
